Quantum computers are super awesome at matrix multiplication, with some limitations. Quantum superposition allows each bit to be in a lot more states than just zero or one, and quantum gates can fiddle those bits in many different ways. Because of that, a quantum computer can process a lot of information at once for certain applications.
One of those applications is the Fourier transform, which is useful in a lot of problems, like signal analysis and array processing. There's also Grover's quantum search algorithm, which finds the single value for which a given function returns something different. If an AI problem can be expressed in a mathematical form amenable to quantum computing, it can receive great speedups. Sufficient speedups could transform an AI idea from "theoretically interesting but insanely slow" to "quite practical once we get a good handle on quantum computing."

$\begingroup$ Adding to this answer, matrix multiplication is the backbone of most Machine Learning applications today. Anything that uses a GPU today could tomorrow use a quantum computer bringing us that much closer to AI. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ ML is subset if AI. Deep ML is subset if ML. Hence we are not building any AI by multiplying matrices. We simply cut the best pieces out of a corpse like piranhas. For publications scores degrees grants tenures and money. I really doubt an actual AI is going to have anything to do with speed of multiplying matrices. Human brain produces intelligence effortlessly using infinitely slower apparatus compared to a quantum computer. $\endgroup$

Until we can make a quantum computer with a lot more qubits, the potential to further develop AI will remain just that.
D-Wave (which has just made a 2,000+ qubit system around 2015) is an adiabatic quantum computer, not a general-purpose quantum computer. It is restricted to certain optimization problems (at which its effectiveness has reportedly been doubted by one of the originators of the theory on which it is based).
Suppose that we could build a 32 qubit general-purpose quantum computer (twice as big as current models, as far as I'm aware). This would still mean that only 232 possibilities exist in superposition. This is a space small enough to be explored exhaustively for many problems. Hence, there are perhaps not so many problems for which any of the known quantum algorithms (e.g. Shor, Grover) would be useful for that number of bits.

$\begingroup$ "D-Wave (which has just made a 2,000+ qubit system around 2015)" This statement is misleading at best. Be aware that D-Wave has claimed to create a computer using adiabetic quantum annealing. This computation model is significantly different than other quantum computing models. For example, I'm not aware whether Shor and Grover work on this model! So, talking about "2,000+ qubits" is a bit misleading: computers in the model where we care about the qubit count have something around 50 qubits as the current frontier. $\endgroup$
– Discrete lizard
$\begingroup$ Also note that there are experts that do not believe adiabetic quantum annealing can give significant improvements on the classical computing technique of simulated annealing. $\endgroup$
Quantum computers can help further develop A.I. algorithms and solve the problems to the extent of our creativity and ability to define the problem. For example breaking cryptography can take seconds, where it can takes thousands of years for standard computers. The same with artificial intelligence, it can predict all the combinations for the given problem defined by algorithm. This is due to superposition of multiple states of quantum bits.
Currently, quantum computers are still in the early stages of development and can perform complex calculation. There are already technologies like D-Wave systems which are used by Google and NASA for complex data analysis, using Multi-Qubit type quantum computers for solving NSE fluid dynamics problems of interest or global surveillance for military purposes, and many more which we're not aware.
Currently there are only a few quantum computers available to the public, like IBM Quantum Experience (the world's first quantum computing platform delivered via the IBM Cloud), but it's programming on quantum logic gates levels, so we're many years behind creating artificial intelligence available to public. There are some quantum computing languages such as QCL, Q or Quipper, but I'm not aware any libraries which can provide artificial intelligence frameworks. It doesn't mean it's not there, and I'm sure huge companies and governments organisations are using it for their agenda to outcome the competition (like financial market analysis, etc.).
Direct Answer to Your Question:--
The field where quantum computing and A.I. intersect is called quantum machine learning.
A.I. is a developing field, with some background (ala McCarthy of LISP fame).
Quantum computing is a virgin field that is largely unexplored.
A particular type of complexity interacts with another type of complexity to create a very rich field.
Now combine (1) and (2), and you end up with even more uncertainty; the technical details shall be explored in this answer.

This particular section on the implementations is worth noting:--
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_machine_learning#Implementations_and_experiments)
" ... This dependence on data is a powerful training tool. But it comes with potential pitfalls. If machines are trained to find and exploit patterns in data then, in certain instances, they only perpetuate the race, gender or class prejudices specific to current human intelligence.
But the data-processing facility inherent to machine learning also has the potential to generate applications that can improve human lives. 'Intelligent' machines could help scientists to more efficiently detect cancer or better understand mental health.
Most of the progress in machine learning so far has been classical: the techniques that machines use to learn follow the laws of classical physics. The data they learn from has a classical form. The machines on which the algorithms run are also classical.
We work in the emerging field of quantum machine learning, which is exploring whether the branch of physics called quantum mechanics might improve machine learning. Quantum mechanics is different to classical physics on a fundamental level: it deals in probabilities and makes a principle out of uncertainty. Quantum mechanics also expands physics to include interesting phenomena which cannot be explained using classical intuition. ...

Crime Doesn't Pay-Loyal o EdenCrime Doesn't Pay-Loyal o Eden
I would say that the answer to your question, is yes. I could write a short book on the subject (that might be a good idea actually) but I will keep this response brief, although I am happy to answer any further questions you may have to which I possess the answers in the comments!
The primary reasons that I believe the newly blossoming field of Quantum Information will have a massive impact on the field of Machine Learning in general, are as follows:
The most simple reason for my belief is that the primary goal of Machine Learning is to create an entity that is capable of coherent, self-aware thought much like we exhibit as human beings. We know that the brain is what allows us to be capable of such feats, and thus I view the field as something like brain counterfeiting. Without going into esoteric detail, there are many subtleties of the brain's workings that are thought to be quantum mechanical in operation, and thus would suggest that the path of least resistance to replicating the system would require a quantum mechanical computational medium.
The second primary rationale which solidifies my position is the efficiency gained when mapping linear operations into a qubit-based formalism. Which is primarily due to the quantum phenomena referred to as Super Position, which allows for a multiple qubit gate to not only work with the options of 00, 01, 10, and 11 (assuming a two-qubit gate); but to also work with any combination in-between, during the computation.
This illustrates the concept of a Bloch Sphere representation in a more concrete manner.
Although when the result is obtained (this is what is referred to as collapsing the wave function) you will only still have a resulting state space with 2^n possibilities, where n is the number of qubits. This being said, there are very clever ways, by which one can design their algorithms to make full use of this technically infinite computational space before observing the final results.
I hope that my answer is helpful to you in some way, although I am aware that it is not a very in-depth answer, I feel that it hits the primary reason why my personal belief is that there will be a wall which is hit, in the pursuit of a general AI, while we are limited to classical computation faculties; and thus will require quantum-based computation before we are able to truly mimic the brain's most well-kept secrets! The next couple of decades should be VERY interesting in the fields, keep a close eye on the latest happenings!

$\begingroup$ I don't think this answers the question "To what extent". I think it's not easy to answer this question, but you could try to address it more directly. For instance, when you say "there are very clever ways, by which one can design their algorithms to make full use of this technically infinite computational space before observing the final results.", you could provide more details or, at least, refer to some algorithms (links to sources too for more details) that did this and how they could be used in the context of AI. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ Anyway, this answer tells about qubits and roughly how they can be used for quantum computing, but I think this doesn't really answer the question. I asked to provide an answer here because that one was a duplicate and I think we could delete it, but, again, I think this answer can be edited to try to address the actual question under this post more directly. So, I suggest that you edit this post to include at least one example of a "quantum algorithm" that could be used to develop artificial intelligence (not necessarily AGI, even e.g. just in the context of neural networks, or whatever). $\endgroup$

There are several NGOs across India who coordinate the organ and body donation. We went with DADHICHI DEH DAAN SAMITI as my father had already filled his form a while back.
1) We contacted the NGO within hours of her death. My father and I were in no condition to call them, so I requested my Chachaji to call them. NGO link shared below.
2) Even though my mother had verbally consented for donation, we hadn't filled the form yet. In case of no donor pledge form has been filled before death, then the authority to give consent for organ donation lies with the person lawfully in possession of the body.
3) The date and time was decided for the final prayers. And the NGO coordinated with AIIMS to pick up the body.
4) The doctor from AIIMS who had come along (it's mandatory) paid respect to my mother with flowers and by touching her feet. And he thanked us sincerely.
5) AIIMS then issued a certificate for body donation which we used to claim the death certificate.
6) After about 3 months, they will cremate her in electric cremation ground. We will be informed of the date and time and can attend the same to collect the remains.
I won't deny that it haunted me for many days. We are conditioned to cremate/bury a person after death so doing something like this didn't come easy. But I also know we did the right thing. A lot of people who attended her prayer ceremony at the Gurudwara have been inspired to do the same. Some even collected the extra forms that my father had with him. My organ donation form has been with me for a while and it's never too early to fill it up.
My dear dear Anupriya, I know it was hard, I was there to see her go. But it is difficult for ordinary people to understand how difficult it is to make that decision as a family. How courageous. All the talk of soul etc goes out the window in the face of this hard materiality. And it is a brace person who decides and who agrees.
Your family is brave, braver than most. Your mother was always a loving being. This is the ultimate act of love.
Salute you and your dad and your brothers.
Thats really brave Anu… thanks for sharing. May her soul rest in peace.
You and your family are brave souls, and inspiration to many, hope many follow your lead.
Dear anu… Thanks for sharing such a inspirational story. May her soul rest in peace.
Respect for your views, Anupriya.
The tough part is talking to the family members. As you mentioned, it's still not comprehensible to most Indians to not to cremate/bury the body. Maybe, got to do with "closure".
I have pledged my organs to Mohan Foundation (http://www.mohanfoundation.org/) some years back. Talked to my parents and thankfully, they were supportive of the idea. Carrying the "donor card" on person is also important.


Using their special abilities, and their burning passion to create something for the world, children at MBCN are proud to present their new creation, a one of a kind 'Prayer Box'. Carefully crafted by deft hands, these prayer boxes are ideal for all homes.
Encourage the handicraft work of the children and help a cause.

New device for water purification - Mi Water Purifier, has been developing for more than a year.
The company is constantly improving its own Xiaomi Mi home ecosystem, constantly developing new devices (fitness bracelet, portable charger, air and water purifier). The main priority of Mi products is incredible value for money products. At this time, the company "Xiaomi Technology" with "Foshan Mi Technology" develops and manufactures Mi Water Purifier.
In itself, the device looks very similar to Mi Air Purifier, namely its shape, color, aesthetics. As for size of device, company once again adhered Xiaomi limits size of A4 paper.
"How long will it take for other companies to create plagiarism"
Cutting through all the questions I will shift to business ethics, we are confident that the Mi water Purifier is much more profitable for price, better appearance and its functionality. Once we got it, we immediately checked it.
We can confidently state that the assertions of Mi quick and easy installation of the water purifier are true. It should only be installed in the correct order all filter cartridges, clearly following the instructions and paying attention to the labeling of filters.
And then lightly press down filter cartridges and scroll counterclockwise to lock them.
Since the installation of water purifiers is very complex, and the connection wiring quite exciting for consumers of Mi company to simplify the installation of the device. You only need to unscrew the aerator mixer, and then choose from six presented corresponding adapter and fasten it in place of the old aerator.
At a press conference, a representative of Mi said that apart from six adapters, they are developing a special seventh to order which you will need to write your application.
After installing the adapter, connect the sensor unit and the installation of the pipeline utilization impurities, turn on the power and can immediately use the device.
"Some industries have set their own standards for the water purifier. Sometimes these standards are different, standards of enterprises or organizations for the same device can be different. For example, for the RO water processing device - Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, state oceanographic administration, State Organization of sanitary safety devices, Ministry of Environmental Protection of the People's Republic of China and others, they all have their own IST (industry standard).
Technical Committee approved the household appliances, the company Qin Yuan set the IST (industry standard) RO water purifier. Thus, in China it can be seven standards for apparatus of the RO water peocessing requirements and the contents of which may be different from each other, and sometimes contradictory. Although the standards for the same product and lot, but the content of most of them is not quite appropriate. Standards are not objective, companies are not doing their job properly, and the organization of technical control also are not commenting. "
2nd: The filter cartridge with activated charcoal, which absorbs odor, color, chlorine, etc.
To verify and control the quality of the filters, the company uses the Mi TDS tester.
The full name of the tester TDS - Total Dissolved Solids, which is used for the determination in water the amount of solid substances, for example mineral salts and organic substances, the unit which is part per million (ppm). Basically, by checking the electrical conductivity and is determined by the purity of water. Simply speaking, the better the electrical conductivity, the more solutes in the water, and accordingly the higher the TDS tester.
Health points out that all the indicators of water quality TDS below 1000 are satisfactory.
We tested the tap water and got value TDS tester 270 (str Sanlitun SOHO), TDS indicators bottled water 30, as a result of multiple testing of purified water using the water purifier Mi, we have such indicators as the 19, 17, 16.
In addition, to make your home intelligent, you can log in APP application «Smart Home» to check the water quality, the life of the filters and even make an order for the purchase of new filter if it is time to replace the filter.

The creative artist is the least doubtful: Yet the defense lawyer Fetyukovich declares that Smerdyakov believed himself to be the illegitimate son of Fyodor Pavlovich: Jung later broke with Freud and developed qnd own theories.
See his book Dostoevsky: This led the authors of the Bologna report to suggest that "the pesonality and the fantastic world of the patient may certainly deeply affect the 'ecstatic experience' during seizures.
But the situation is far from satisfactory.
As Freud explained it: The attack came from two directions: For the record, there are two brave epilepsy experts who can envisage the reverse process of psychogenic epilepsy: We have now established that his employment of palliative measures and his hostility toward the repressions of civilization each contribute to the development of his theory and his decision to commit his crime. Let us begin with a short summary of the novel:.
That same day, she wrote in her letter, she had visited Anna Grigorevna and asked whether Dostoevsky had ever told her the cause of his first epileptic seizure. Dostoevsky's epilepsy seems to belong to the second category: The nature of this anguish, in his own words, was that he felt he was some kind of criminal; it seemed to him that he was weighed upon by mysterious guilt, by a great crime.
Confused agitation [ smutno ], depression [ grustno ], pangs of conscience [ ugryzeniia ], and sense of unreality [ fantastichno ]. The reader is referred not only to Strakhov's account given above but to the detailed records of seizures made by Dostoevsky himself between andwhich are available in Parrricide.
He engages in these palliative measures for the same reasons as everybody else does, yet is unable to achieve the same results due to the abnormal strength of his instincts. From an entirely different point of view the analysis of Kramskoi's painting "Contemplative" James Rice reinforces Peace's thesis about the importance of the Castrate theme.
On the other hand, each of his novels could be regarded as a rebellion or a need to rebel against an authority figures, whether that figure is the personal father, the state, or God.
He admits that his diagnosis of hysteria could not be proved due to a lack of information on Dostoevsky's first seizures nor was there enough information about the relation of the seizures to his life. After graduating, he worked at the Vienna General Hospital. Although his biography has retained its status as a classic, Jones has been criticized for presenting an overly favorable image of Freud. Grigory, fully realizing the challenge to his and God's authority, has no answer except the time-honored prerogative of fathers: We have detailed portraits of his parents; we learn of his traumatic birth; we know exactly when and how his first seizure originated.

William Parker was born 12 Aug 1778 in Wilkes County, North Carolina, and died 30 Jan 1851 in Putnam County, Indiana,[1] the son of John and Mary Ann (Coons?) Parker.[2] He was married 27 Oct 1801[3] in Wilkes County, North Carolina, to Candace Austin, born 23 Feb 1781 in Wilkes County and died 26 May 1869 in Putnam County.[4]
Several online posts state that Mary Ann was full blood Cherokee. This corresponds with family tradition that Greenberry Parker was Native American.
The abstract of John Austin's 1791 will reads "PARKER, JOHN, Mary Ann (wife); James, John, William and Diana. The will also mentions a stepdaughter, Mary Ann Coons. John's 1790 census in Wilkes County shows three males under 16, one over 16, and two females.[5] He is found on land records in Surry County,[6] North Carolina, in 1771 and 1772.[7] He also filed for a land grant on 19 Oct 1778, which was issued on 24 Oct 1782, in Surry County.[8]
In 1800, John Parker Jr was living with his wife and two sons in Wilkes County.[9] This writer has not located Mary Ann, her sons James and William, nor daughter Diana in 1800. Diana married Isham Aldridge 1 Dec 1792 in Wilkes County.[10] Mary Ann Coons married Isham's brother, Prince William Aldridge in 1793 in Wilkes County.
William Parker was in the Wilkes County census for 1810 as follows: one male and one female under 10, one male and one female 26-44, and one female over 45.[11] The older female was likely Mary Ann (–) Parker, William's mother.
Soon after, the family may have moved to South Carolina, as sons Greenberry and Robert David both are listed in later censuses with a birthplace of South Carolina. In 1815, they were living in Tazewell, Claiborne County, Tennessee, when son William Henley Parker was born, according to statements made by descendants or others.[12]
Based on his 1810 census and later family, I have not been able to determine the location of William Parker in the 1820 census, either in North or South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky or Indiana.
In 1830, William and Candace were living in Morgan County, Indiana, he aged 50-59, and she aged 40-49, with one son, 15-19.[13]
Welk's History of Putnam County, Indiana,[14] states:
The immigrant ancestor of the Parker family was John Parker, who was born and reared in England, but who, because he accidentally injured the wife of a nobleman, was banished from his native land. His coming to America was sometime prior to the War of the Revolution and relics of this ancestor are now in the hands of his great-grandson, Benjamin A. Parker, of this township. Among the children of this John Parker was a son William, who was born in South Carolina about 1790 [sic]. Upon reaching mature years, the latter married Candace Austin, and to them was born a son, William Henley Parker. On November 27, 1827, William and Candace Austin [Parker] arrived in Putnam County, Indiana, and located on section 17 of Mill Creek township,[15] of which they were the third settlers, their pioneer home being located in the heart of the forest. Here William Parker entered eighty acres of land, and this tract of land has remained in the family ever since, being now the property of his grandson, Benjamin A. Parker. The log cabin which they built there served as their home for many years and remained standing as late as 1906.
William Henley Parker was reared on the parental homestead in Mill Creek township and lived practically all his life there. He devoted himself to farming pursuits and was rewarded with a fair measure of success. About 1847 he and his cousin, Joel Wright,[16] started a general store on the farm…
William and Candace have not been found on the 1840 census. The household of William Parker in the same township is probably William Jr.[17]
In 1850, the two households are next door to each other.[18] William and Candace have two young girls, Cintha Ann, 15, and Patsy, 10, living with them. William Henley Parker's daughters Candace, 14, and Martha, 10, are living next door. It is questionable the census taker would have listed them twice or copied the name Cintha Ann right below her grandmother's name Candace, if these were the same girls. No surname is written for the girls except for ditto marks. Therefore, it is likely these two girls were daughters of the son or daughter listed in William's 1810 census.
Candace has not been located in the 1860 census.
William and Candace had at least one daughter and three or four sons:
Daughter, born before 1810, unknown after 1810 census.
Son, born before 1810, unknown unless he was Greenberry or Robert David, and a few years older than previously thought.
*Either the son or the daughter was probably the parent of Cyntha Ann, born ca 1835, and Patsy, born ca 1840, living with William and Candace in 1850.
Greenberry Parker, born 1810-1815, per 1840 census, in South Carolina, according to his daughters' 1880 censuses, married 11 Dec 1834 Elizabeth Willoughby in Monroe Co IN, resided 1840 in Vigo Co IN, died before 1850. Three daughters, oldest one Mary Ann.
Robert David Parker, born 25 Oct 1811 in South Carolina, according to his 1850 census and his gravestone, married 31 Dec 1836 Polly Ritchey in Monroe Co IN, a niece of his brother Greenberry's wife, resided 1840 in Clay Co IN, died 30 Nov 1860. Eight children, oldest daughter Mary Ann.
William Henley Parker, born 31 Mar 1815 in Claiborne County, Tennessee, married Birthena[19] Posey Dobbs 17 Dec 1833 in Morgan Co IN, died 10 Sep 1875 in Putnam County, Indiana. Nine children.

Ecolonomics organization asks CAB for Earth Day event aid
David Haut
Members of the International Student Ecolonomics Association were in attendance for the Feb. 23 meeting of the Campus Activities Board.
The 11-student turnout is one of the biggest of the semester.
The group was on hand to ask for support for its upcoming Earth Day celebration.
"We asked CAB for some money," said Shelley Manley, senior biochemistry, biology and chemistry major and president of the organization. "They said they wanted to help with the event and we needed help."
The event would consist of a concert on the night of April 21, followed by an afternoon of events on Earth Day, which is April 22.
Schwag, the proposed band, would play at the biology pond.
The total cost is $1,800, but many other area bands said they would perform for free if Schwag came to perform.
The events on the oval would consist of informational booths, educational speakers environmental activism and activities.
"It's like welcome back week, only environmentally friendly," Manley said.
Julie Blackford, director of student activities, said she would like to help. So far, CAB has not yet allocated any funds to the organization.
"I think it's a good idea," Blackford said. "I'm usually skeptic about concerts. This one seems more contained, and we don't have to spend $10,000 on an event."
The group asked for $1,000 to help cut the cost. Many of the members of the ecolomonics group are members of other organizations. Seven campus organizations are represented between them. Blackford asked them to put together a committee before any money was given away.
CAB also discussed bringing back ghost hunter John Zaffis.
Zaffis lectured on ghosts and the paranormal last semester at Southern and drew in a crowd that overflowed Cornell Auditorium.
He now has a new presentation and has an opening on Oct. 24, just in time for Halloween.
Upcoming CAB events include the $1 burger day on Wednesday. Comedian Chris Strait is scheduled to perform. Wednesday is also the deadline for the talent show, but the date will most likely be pushed back to allow for more entries.
Currently, only six entries have been submitted.
CAB is also promoting Spring Break Blitz, a week of events before spring break.
Blackford hopes more students will take interest in CAB.
She said she was happy to see a larger turnout for the Feb. 23 meeting and hopes the high numbers will continue.
"We're so busy promoting our own events, we don't have time to promote ourselves," Blackford said.
Anyone with ideas or interest in CAB is invited to attend their weekly meetings at 2 p.m. every Wednesdays in the student activities office on the second floor of v Student Center.


Scalded Flea ...: Marking and the long weekend.
Marking and the long weekend.
I am a National CGA marker. That means when students sign up to take courses, I am one of the people who marks their assignments. It's great. I enjoy providing feedback to the students, getting to know my fellow markers and keeping up to speed on all the new things coming down the pike. It's something that I do in my spare timein addition to my CGA Ambassador duties.
One thing though, it's lots of work. LOTS. I have 37 students this term. Each assignment takes me between 1.5 - 2 hours per student give or take. There are 5 assignments.
This weekend was tough, I had to balance marking the assignments, making sure I spent lots of time with the boys while being solo this weekend.
Since the weather was so nice,my marking was pushed back to the evenings when the boys were asleep. With Bleek being away, it's great ( not him being away) that I can settle down and mark papers from 7pm until 2 am without feeling guilty for ignoring him.
So we have got outside lots so far this weekend. Zach decided that he needed some flip flops (his first pair), so he got some cool ones. Logan decided on a regular flat sandal. Walking up to the mall was nice. I try and get the boys out walking or bike riding instead of taking the car. Since time was not an issue, why not walk?
Mum came over for dinner tonight. I don't get to see Mum that often, so it's nice. The boys miss her like crazy and the first hour of his visit is punctuated with "Grandma! Grandma! Grandma!" They have so much to tell her and can't wait to fill her in.
That's about it for now. Bedtime has gotten pushed back since the boys are a little older and it's summer now. They are currently showing Grandma the finer points of playing the Wii.

If you use span gas to calibrate your gas detection instruments, such as FastCalGas—the one-stop-shop for all your gas calibration needs—you might be wondering what to do with all those empty cylinders. That's especially true if you're benefiting from huge savings by buying in bulk!
Owing to the nature of the product, span gases are marked as dangerous goods and are subject to strict regulation, particularly when it comes to transporting them. Though your gas supplier has extensive experience in handling and shipping these materials, customers are often left wondering what to do with the non-refillable, used containers. Even if they're empty, gas cylinders may still be considered hazardous material. As such, it isn't immediately obvious how to properly dispose of spent cylinders, let alone recycle them.
Should I Recycle My Empty Gas Cylinders?
Today's gas supplies customers are highly eco-conscious individuals. We all want to reduce our ecological footprint, and recycling is one of the best ways to do our part for the environment. In the case of scrap metal, recycling can also allow you to recoup some of the cost of the product. Gas cylinders are typically made from aluminium or steel, which are valuable materials. However, because recycling companies won't accept empty cylinders as-is, many customers feel they have no choice but to send the spent containers to the landfill.
The truth is, with the proper processing, you can—and should—recycle gas cylinders! It's actually a lot easier than you might think.
How Do I Prepare Used Gas Cylinders for Recycling?
Make sure your gas cylinder is eligible for recycling: Read the labelling on the container or check with your gas supplier to determine whether or not it's recyclable. All of the span gas cylinders sold by FastCalGas can be recycled as normal.
Check your local regulations: Depending on where you live, the laws in your country or state will differ when it comes to the disposal of gas cylinders. Individual companies may also have policies in place that describe additional procedures you need to follow.
Ensure the cylinder is empty: Owing to safety considerations, the most important step in recycling gas cylinders is to empty it completely. This is because non-empty containers may still contain traces of dangerous or combustible material. It's recommended that you also drill a hole in the spent containers. Once this is done, you can use a permanent marker to mark it as "EMPTY" or "PUNCTURED." Some recycling companies also ask that containers be cut in half. Contact disposal facilities near you for their specific requirements.
Remove the valve, or render it unusable: For a gas cylinder to be accepted by a scrap metal agent or other recycling facilities, the valve must be removed or made inoperable. This ensures the cylinder is no longer pressurised and is therefore no longer classified as a dangerous good. This procedure typically involves placing the cylinder in a vice and using a specialised tool to remove the valve. Without the right tool, getting that valve off can be a real problem.
Thankfully, we offer a low-cost, convenient solution to do just that!
Martek Marine is well known and respected worldwide for the supply and support of high-quality, affordable maritime equipment and span gases. In order to meet all your calibration gas needs, a recycling tool compatible with 34L aluminium, 58L aluminium, and 103L steel cylinders, as well as a tool for 34L steel cylinders are also available. These easy-to-use devices render the valve unusable, rather than the container itself.
Take appropriate safety precautions: Always follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer when working with gas cylinders and accessories. Use only recycling tools compatible with the valve type for which it's designed, and never use damaged tools on a gas cylinder. Wear safety glasses and work in a well-ventilated area—either outdoors or under a fume hood.
Once decommissioned, gas cylinders are treated as regular scrap metal. You can then sell them to scrap metal agents. Since calibration tests must be performed regularly, reselling the processed cylinders drastically reduces your administrative expenses.
Disposing of Empty Gas Cylinders Doesn't Have to be a Hassle.
Instead of throwing away your used gas cylinders, recycle them! Recycling benefits the environment by promoting the sustainable use of valuable resources and allows you to recoup some of the cost of your gas calibration supplies. Although gas cylinders cannot be recycled as-is, with our low-cost recycling tools, processing your gas cylinders is simple, affordable, and easy.

Q: System for tracking changes in whois records What's the best storage mechanism (from the view of the database to be used and system for storing all the records) for a system built to track whois record changes? The program will be run once a day and a track should be kept of what the previous value was and what the new value is.
Suggestions on database and thoughts on how to store the different records/fields so that data is not redundant/duplicated

(Added) My thoughts on one mechanism to store data
Example case showing sale of one domain "sample.com" from personA to personB on 1/1/2010
Table_DomainNames
DomainId | DomainName
1           example.com
2           sample.com

Table_ChangeTrack
DomainId | DateTime | RegistrarId | RegistrantId | (others)
2           1/1/2009           1              1
2           1/1/2010           2              2

Table_Registrars
RegistrarId | RegistrarName
1             GoDaddy
2             1&1

Table_Registrants
RegistrantId | RegistrantName
1              PersonA
2              PersonB

All tables are "append-only". Does this model make sense? Table_ChangeTrack should be "added to" only when there is any change in ANY of the monitored fields.
Is there any way of making this more efficient / tighter from the size point-of-view??

A: The primary data is the existence or changes to the whois records. This suggests that your primary table be:
<id, domain, effective_date, detail_id>

where the detail_id points to actual whois data, likely normalized itself:
<detail_id, registrar_id, admin_id, tech_id, ...>

But do note that most registrars consider the information their property (whether it is or not) and have warnings like:

TERMS OF USE: You are not authorized
  to access or query our Whois  database
  through the use of electronic
  processes that are high-volume and
  automated except as reasonably
  necessary to register domain names or
  modify existing registrations...

From which you can expect that they'll cut you off if you read their databases too much.

A: You could

*

*store the checksum of a normalized form of the whois record data fields for comparison.

*store the original and current version of the data (possibly in compressed form), if required.

*store diffs of each detected change (possibly in compressed form), if required.

It is much like how incremental backup systems work. Maybe you can get further inspiration from there.

A: you can write vbscript in an excel file to go out and query a webpage (in this case, the particular 'whois' url for a specific site) and then store the results back to a worksheet in excel.

The Czech and Slovak Republics: Nation versus state
Carol Skalnik Leff
Research output: Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Book
This clear, objective introduction to the politics of Czechoslovakia and the successor Czech and Slovak republics builds a framework for understanding the dynamics of the triple transition: democratization, marketization, and a national transformation that has reconfigured the dynamic between state and nation. Offering a valuable case study of a country coming back to Europe, the books strong comparative element will make it invaluable to those seeking to understand the dynamics of transition in the region as a whole. This clear, objective introduction to the politics of Czechoslovakia and the successor Czech and Slovak Republics provides a comprehensive analysis of Czechoslovakia in the postcommunist period. Carol Leff builds a framework for understanding the dynamics of the triple transition: Democratization, marketization, and a national transformation that has reconfigured the dynamic between state and nation. She shows how the interaction of these three transformational agendas has shaped Czechoslovakias development, ultimately culminating in the paradoxical disintegration of a state that most of its citizens wished to preserve.The book offers a valuable case study of a country coming back to Europe, but it also provides an opportunity for analyzing the influence of communism on what had been a significant interwar European state. The books strong comparative element will make it invaluable as well for those seeking to understand contemporary central and eastern Europe.

Placenta-based cell therapy company Pluristem Therapeutics has launched a collaboration with Thermo Fisher Scientific to help scale up the manufacturing of regenerative medicines, with the goal of building a large-scale industry capable of producing millions of doses.
The partnership aims to combine Thermo Fisher's experience in bioproduction and supply chains with Pluristem's work in cell therapy manufacturing, clinical development and quality control, the companies said in a statement.
Pluristem described how over 850 companies worldwide are developing regenerative medicines and advanced therapies, with over 900 clinical trials underway, plus several international product approvals in the past year.
For the regenerative medicine sector to serve more patients, the company called for changes in the supply chain of equipment, consumables, reagents and storage systems.
Haifa, Israel-based Pluristem, which develops treatments based on placenta-derived adherent stromal cells, unveiled topline results last month from a phase 2 study of its PLX-PAD cell therapy. The trial of 172 patients with intermittent claudication, or painful cramps associated with peripheral artery disease, represented the company's largest data set to date. After one year (PDF), patients treated with two intramuscular administrations of 300 million PLX-PAD cells showed improvements of 51% in maximal walking distance compared to placebo, with a p-value of 0.015. As a secondary endpoint, the study also evaluated Pluristem's proprietary manufacturing approach of developing doses originating from different placentas, which demonstrated a smaller improvement in walking distance, with 42%, and with a weaker p-value of 0.043.

Georgia's revised National Security Concept provides a good opportunity to examine the country's official thinking on security and to assess its approach to its internal and external security environments.
The paper first discusses the background conditions of Georgian national security planning. It then identifies a number of positive aspects of the concept. The main part of the analysis focuses on five problematic issues. One is the possibility of internal instability, which is largely absent in the concept. Another is security aspects of globalization and interdependence. The third concerns threats in the Caucasian region, notably the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and instability in the Northern Caucasus. The fourth issue is the threat from Russia. The final focus is Georgia's westward orientation.

Carriera
Nato in Turchia, dopo 5 anni passati in Germania si è trasferito in Svezia.

Ha iniziato a far parte del Syrianska da quando aveva 10 anni (quando ancora la squadra era denominata Suryoyo), prima nel settore giovanile e poi in prima squadra: durante questi anni da giocatore ha collezionato numerose promozioni che hanno permesso al club un salto multiplo dalla Division 7 alla Division 2, che all'epoca rappresentava la terza serie.

Dal suo ritiro in avanti ha rivestito diversi ruoli nel Syrianska, tra cui presidente e direttore sportivo, fino alla nomina di allenatore avvenuta nel 2003. Nel 2006 ha invece abbandonato il mestiere di parrucchiere.
Il campionato 2009 è stato il primo disputato dai giallorossi in Superettan, mentre due anni più tardi è arrivato il debutto in Allsvenskan sempre con Melkemichel alla guida della squadra. Non essendo in possesso di un patentino adeguato, nella massima serie è stato affiancato ufficialmente da altri allenatori.

Al termine della stagione 2013, culminata con la discesa in Superettan, ha lasciato il Syrianska per approdare in terza serie all'AFC United, ambiziosa squadra formata pochi anni prima. In tre anni Melkemichel ha conseguito la prima promozione in Superettan nella storia del club, poi un 8º posto nell'anno del debutto nel campionato cadetto, e infine la storica promozione in Allsvenskan.

In vista della stagione 2017, Melkemichel ha accettato la proposta del Djurgården, blasonata squadra della capitale Stoccolma. Il direttore sportivo Bosse Andersson ha dichiarato di averlo scelto per il suo gioco offensivo ma soprattutto per il fatto di essere un tecnico vincente. Al termine del suo primo anno di permanenza, la squadra ha chiuso la Allsvenskan 2017 al 3º posto in classifica, ritornando così in Europa dopo 10 anni. Il 10 maggio 2018 invece il Djurgården ha vinto la Coppa di Svezia 2017-2018, con la vittoria casalinga per 3-0 sul Malmö FF: si è trattato del primo trofeo ufficiale conquistato dal club nell'arco degli ultimi 13 anni. L'avventura in Europa League invece è terminata subito, essendo usciti ai supplementari contro gli ucraini del Mariupol'. Dopo due anni, le strade di Melkemichel e del Djurgården si sono separate: alcuni media avevano riportato un'indiscrezione secondo cui un largo gruppo di giocatori avrebbero rimuovere il tecnico, ma lo stesso Melkemichel ha smentito, adducendo di aver rifiutato lui il contratto.

Nel corso dell'anno 2019 non ha allenato, poi a partire dalla stagione 2020 ha firmato un accordo che si estende per 2+1 anni con l'AFC, club in cui aveva già lavorato in passato ma che nel frattempo aveva trasferito la propria sede sociale presso la città di Eskilstuna. Dopo aver chiuso al nono posto la Superettan 2020 (seconda serie nazionale) e dopo aver iniziato la Superettan 2021 con un temporaneo decimo posto alla nona giornata, l'8 giugno 2021 Melkemichel è stato esonerato.

Look to the Toyota Highlander for its thrifty hybrid option and its bucks-up interior.
The Hyundai Santa Fe has a new look and offers a lot of value for the money.
Chevy's Traverse has butch SUV looks and a roomy interior, even if active safety gear is a costly option.
The GMC Acadia is a great choice for families who don't need the third row on a regular basis.
This year's newcomer, the Subaru Ascent, has Outback-plus looks and may be the segment's best value.
The 2019 GMC Acadia doesn't stand out but is a solid choice for those who only need a third row occasionally.


Bike Sebring takes place every February at the famous Sebring International Raceway – the weekend closest to Valentine's Day. Hosted by The Rotary Club of Highlands County & the Highlands Pedalers Bicycle Club it is officially know as the Bike Sebring 12 Hour & Ultra cycling RAAM Qualifier.
All monies go to great causes as the Rotary Club of Highlands County uses proceeds from this event to support local charities.
We love to visit Florida in February – the weather is much more conducive to cycling than in the UK at that time of year although it can be cool and if you are taking part in either the 12 or 24 hour races you will need some warm weather gear for the early start/finish (6am) .
